Ingredients
  

For the Zucchini Noodles:
  • 3 medium zucchinis
For the Creamy Garlic Mushroom Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 oz white mushrooms washed and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Spiralizer or Vegetable Peeler
  • Large skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Start by washing the zucchinis thoroughly. Using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, create long, noodle-like strands from the zucchinis. Set these aside in a colander to drain any excess moisture.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 4-5 minutes until they are tender and golden.
  3. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and garlic, stirring for about a minute to cook off the raw taste. Gradually whisk in the 1 cup of Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup of milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the drained zucchini noodles to the skillet with the creamy mushroom sauce. Toss everything together gently, allowing the noodles to heat through and absorb the flavors of the sauce for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Once everything is well combined and heated, remove from heat. Serve the Zucchini Noodles with Creamy Garlic Mushroom Sauce warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
